Welcome to issue 43 of DNN Creative Magazine.
This is a very special issue for us as this month we have reached 400 video tutorials! Also, In this DotNetNuke training series we are introducing a new video tutor, Paul Deschenes who will be providing a six part series on how to build a Knowledge Base Module using Open Web Studio.
To open the issue we begin with a tutorial on the OnyakTech SigmaLive Module. The SigmaLive module provides Live Chat functionality for your DotNetNuke website. It allows you to engage in a 1-to-1 chat with your website visitors in real-time. It allows you to instantly provide live help, live support, visitor tracking, and proactive sales for your products and services. It is also possible to configure this module as a chat room.
Next we demonstrate how to use DNN Stuff’s Aggregator Module. This module is a really flexible module as it acts as a tabbed container or can also be used as a localization container for one or more modules. The module allows you to combine several modules together from a page into a tabbed interface and can also display RSS feeds.
Following this we have part one of six for the new DotNetNuke training series on How to Build a Public Knowledge Base Module with R2i’s Open Web Studio by Paul Deschenes. The aim of the series is to introduce the beginner to Open Web Studio and demonstrate how to create a fully functional web application with little or no coding experience required. This tutorial provides an introduction to Open Web Studio where we walk you through installation, the key components, and building your first components with Quick Builder.
Finally, we have two podcasts covering the latest DotNetNuke News as well as more tips and tricks.
This issue comes complete with 14 videos and 2 podcasts!
